Somebody must have forgotten1
to tell the Chicago White Sox they
are out ol the American League
pennant race.
The go-go boys are back In high
gear with a five-game whining
streak and breezing as if they
thought they still had a chance.
Mathematically, they're right
tip fieures show the Sox still
nuld overhaul both the. second-
place New York Yankees and the
league-leading Cleveland Indians.
Thev are five games behind New
York, 8'i back of Cleveland. But
the chances are remote.
The White Sox's recent record,
however, shows eight victories in
their last 10 starts and a highly re-l
tpectablc .642 percentage. That's a
better average than any White Sox
team has attained since 1917 and
would have beaten the Yankees out
of the pennant in four of the last
five seasons.
Two of the team's brightest . stars
sparkled in last night's 8-2 victory
at nptrnit.
Virgil Trucks struck out six ana ,
K-attered nine hits in becoming the
first American League pitcher to
win 18 games. Minnie Minoso
moved within five points of the
league batting lead with a run
scoring triple that raised his aver
age to .331.
Cleveland defeated Baltimore 1-2
.and gained a full game on the Yan
kees whose 10-game winning streak
.was ended by Wlllnrd Nixon and
th- Boston Red Sox 4-3. Nixon is
the first pitcher to. beat New York
four times this season. :
Milwaukee slipped another full
length behind New York and
Brooklyn In the National League.
The Braves were beaten for the
third time in four games, 3-1 by
Chicago. New York defeated Pitts
burgh 4-0 and Brooklyn whipped
Philadelphia 6-4. The Giants lead
the Dodgers by two gnmes and Mil
waukee by SVi, pending todays
action. , " ,
Cincinnati took over fourth place
in the National League by shading
Si. Louis 3-2 despite six double
plays by the Cardinals. Philadel
phia and Washington in the Ameri
can League were rained out.
Nixon, skipped over in a Red Sox
teries in New York last weekend,
won his own game in Boston with
. 1 -inKlo that, drove
an eigiuu uuug "-"-- fc. .
in the winning run. am huuSuu ...u
1o finish the ninth, however, when
Nixon was injured In a slide, at
tempting to stretch his hit into a
triple. Ted Williams beat out a
bunt and added a. double and a
single in three official times at bat
a perfect night.
Al Rosen hit his 21st home run
and Larry Doby delivered a three
run triple as the Indians scored
six runs in the first two innings at
Baltimore. . ..
The Giants scored all of their
run3 against Pittsburgh on a grand
' slam home run by Don Mueller in
the filth Innins!. It was the second
bases-loaded homer of his career
for Mueller who specializes in hit
ting singles. Don Liddle, who came
to the Giants from Milwaukee with
Johnny Antonelli during the winter,
allowed only three hits, ail singles.
Brooklyn found the home run
range against Kobin Roberts of
the Phils and handed the strong
armed right-hander his 11th de
feat. Duke Snider hit his 30th with
a man on in the first. Carl Fuilllo
tnd Sandy Amoros also homered.
.' The bravc3 scored a run in the
first inning against Bob Rush but
left eight runners stranded in the
t next eight Innings as Rush went
en to his eighth victory. Bob Tal
bot, a reserve outfielder, scored all
three Chicago runs and slammed
a double, and two singles.

CLAYTON HANNON, Sports Editor
Tribute Paid To
Hodges For Blow
By GAYLE TALBOT
NEW YORK tin There was con
siderable excitement in the Brook
lyn Dodgers' clubhouse after- the
game In which Gil Hodges had
boosted his 200th home run into
the stands. Flash bulbs flickered
as the popular first baseman's
teammates crowded around to
congratulate him. .
It was a justly deserved tribute,
for not too many batters reach
the magic figure in a full career
these days. Hodges, at 30, had
aone u m ms seventh lull Dig
league season, and he could look
forward, if extremely lucky, to at
least approaching the 400 mark
betore cleaning out his locker.
When the noise had subsided and
the last picture been snapped, the
happy slugger wandered over and
sat beside Duke Snider, who also
whales a long ball and likely will
become a 200 man sometime next
season. The Duke was looking
thoughtful.-
"Oee, Gil," he Said, "how in
the world "do you suppose a man
ever hit over 500 homers In the
big leagues? It doesn't seem possi
ble, does it?"
"Don't ask me." said Hodees,
losing the fine edge of his elation,
"there must have been something
different from now. How many
did the Babe hit?"
He was advised, after quick re
search, that Ruth had blasted
total of 714 four-baggers during his
22 fabulous years in the majors,
and that Mclvln Ott, over a like
span with the Giants, had collect
ed 511 to establish the National
League record. Both Dodgers mar
veled. , .. v. t
"There had to be something dif
ferent." Snider insisted. "No man,
I don't care how great a hitter
ho is. can ever hone to set records
-
pl&ce, you can't hope to play that
long: these days, not with night
baseball. It takes it out of you.
There's no moral or anything.
Just a couple of modern ballplay
ers feeling futile.
Although the Baltimore Orioles
stand at least an even chance of
winning fewer games than they
did last season as the St. Louis
Browns, General Manager Art
Enters denies that he has any
thought of sacking Jimmy Dykes
and replacing him ' with Chuck
Dressen or anyone else before the
next campaign.
"We gave Jimmy a last-place
club to work with and we can't
blame him for what's-happened,"
Ehlers says, reasonably. "I think
he has gotten everything any man
ager could have out of the plavers
he . has. They have borne down

PCL Race
Knotted As
Padres Win
By THE ASSOCIATED PltESS
For the first time since May 20,
the Hollywood Stars have yielded
sole occupancy of first place in
the Pacific Coast League and
and share it Saturday with San:
Diego's Padres. , j
Champions of the league tot the
last two years and tabbed for a
run-away repeat this season, the
Stars are taking their lumps these
days and are in the worst slump
they've had since the first two
weeks of the campaign.
Hollywood lost Us second in a
row Friday night to Los Angeles.
2-1, in a 15-inning thriller that
lasted three hours, 38 minutes. A
home run by Angel catcher Al
Evans settled the issue. He belted
southpaw Rog Bowmnn's first
pitch ovpr the left center iield
wa'l at Wrigley Field. ,
San Dieeo meanwhile was divid
ing a double header with Sacra
mento to pull even with the Stars.
The red hot Seattle Ralniers ex-
tended their winning streak to
eight games as they downed Poru
land, 4-2. Bob Hall did an excellent
job lor eignt innings, out needed
help in the ninth from Bill Evans
and Steve Nagy. Dick Fiedler went
the route for Portland.
Although Hollywood has lost nine
of its last 12 games, San Diego
seemed somewhat reluctant to
take advantage of the situation.
The Padres won the opener Fri
day night on Earl Rapp's eighth
inning home:, 4-3.' The blow score
Luke Easter ahead of him. San
Dleso rallied for three runs In the
seventh and final Inning of the
nightcap to tie the score, 3-all.
but Merrill Combs hit a homer in
Sacramento's half for the 5-4 win.
Easter got his 11th homer In the
first 1 game with Dick Sisler
aboard. Rapp's homer was his
lath. Hank Schenz hit his 10th in
the filth.
San Francisco whipped Oakland,
4-2, as Bob Hughes took over for
Bill Bradford after Spider Joi gen
sen had swatted a homer in the
first inning and allowed only one
hit thereafter. XI Gcltel, who
worked seven innings, was
charged with the loss.

Spectators
Remember
Jim Peters
By JACK IIEWINS
SEATTLE ( The ordeal of Jim
Peters in the British Empire
Games marathon will forever
haunt everyone who saw the
Agony Man. from Essex stumble,
stagger and tumble all over the
track in a futile hunt for the finish'
line.
"If it had been my dog," said
Jack Sullivan, sports editor of the
Canadian Press, "I'd have shot the
poor thing to put it, out of Us
misery."
A lot of the spectators thought
the same; many didn't. You can
sympathize with Peters, even pity
him. but he went into the race
with his eyes open and was no
rookie at the running game.
He had been galloping for nigh
onto 16 years. When you consider
'.lis training schedule you wonder
when he ever took time for any
Ihing else. He tried to average
1T, miles of cantering per day,
7 days per week, bat was able to
run only 5.4U0 miles in a year of
preparing for his big effort r.t
Vancouver. Over the years he had
matched the circumference of the
earth, just training.
Peters was ready; he merely
miscalculated his own endurance
in the .strength-sapping sun.
The bbject of all running be
yond the sprint distances, from
440 yards up to the marathon's 26
miles and 365 yards, is to reach
the limit of endurance the instant
you hit the finish line. Roger Ban
nister accomplished it when he
beat John Landy In the mile. No
sympathy was asked or given
when he collapsed across the
iinish strinsr.
Peters knew exactly how far he
had to run. Berore the race he
even measured the course, found
It a few yards too long and in
sisted the officials correct it,
which they did.
But Peters miscalculated nis
own strength by about 300 yards.
He ran out of gas as he came
through' the stadium gate for the
las', swing around the track. 20
minutes ahead of Joe McGhee of
Scotland. His legs turned to rub
ber and he snt on the cindered
sidehill, looking surprised and
sheepish.
Will power kept picking him up
and pushing him on as he fell,
groveling in agony, time after
lime. That seine will 'power would
have kept driving him to the final
line or to death had not an
English trainer grabbed h I m
which amounted to disqualifica
tion. Tlie agony of Jim Peters will be
remembered forever by the sports
world, which already has forgot-
I ten the name of the man who won
' the race.
You can expect Enpland to dom
inate the distance events in the
next Olympics and for a good
many years to come, J. Bull's dis
tance men all train like Peters
did. running mile after gruelling
mile, day after day.
At the Empire Games the Eng
lish finished 1-2-3 In the six-mile
and three-mile races, but the most
astounding part of H was the win
ners' finishing kick. After running
5 miles Peter Driver went the
Inst quarter In 58.7 seconds. Chris
Chataway ran the final 220 of the
three-mile in 26 seconds.
John Larttly was the only dis
tance man in the Games to bent
Driver's tirne or a quarter, cover
ing the first lap of the mile in
58 flat. Nobody topped Chataway's
closing 220.

house, a hustling ball player from
Oregon Tech, will probably handle
the receiving chores.
Besides Williams. Hatfield can
call upon Fran Miller, JoJo George

if, the need arises.
The Eldorado infield will prob
ably be composed of Art Raymond
or Corky Ellis at the first base
post, while Whltt will handle the
second base position. The left side

Racing
Scheduled
Hardtop raolng will shift it's
weekly racing program to Sunday
atternoons, at Gems Speedway,
according to the new Track Man-
ager Jack Lutz. with time trials
starting at 1:30.
The main reason for the shift
in time from the evening' racing
was the early, fall weather that

ing the last couple of evening race
programs, the chilly weather has
bothered the fans and drivers
alike.
Another top racing program is
expected to mi the racing agenda
tomorrow as the local and visit
ing hardtop drivers take to the
track in a nine event program.
Between 45 and 55 cars are ex
pected to take part in the after
noon show, which will feature four
heat races of 10 laps apiece and
a four lap trophy dash on one hah
of the evenings entertainment.
The remaining part of the racing
program will be a 10 lap final
neai race, a c-race ol 10 laps, B-
main of 15 laps and the evening's
finale, a 25 lap A-maln event.
In last week's program, Dale
Hankins copped the main event
for his second win of the 25 lap
event this season, Benny Morri
son took home the trophy dash,
-main and a neat race honors,
while Mutt Christian captured the
evening's final heat.
Lutz slated that the time trials
will start at 1:30. and the rern
malndcr of the afternoon racing
show will Ret underway as soon
as the officials get the drivers
lined up in their respective events
and heat races.

that's what challenger Rocky Cas

about last night's title fight In the

'It was more of a slip" when he
sat down for a three-count in the

ful 15-round title defense. "Our
feet tangled and I got hit at the
same time."
Castellanl was down for the
nine count In the 12th, but Insisted
he could have gotten up at the
count of two.
"I thought I had him,' said Ol

son remained the kingpin of the
world's 160-pound division today aft
er having turned back the threat
of the nation's top challenger.
Rocky Castellanl of Cleveland.
Balding Bobo of San Francisco'
captured a unanimous decision
over the 28-year-old Rocky last
night in a 15-round nationally tel
evised battle that was spirited, it
not spectacular, and highly dra
matic In at least six minutes of
the struggle. .. ;
Olsop is richer by $128,000. his
guarantee from Castellani's man
ager, Al Naiman.
The 26-year-old native of Hono
' lulu said he plans to continue fight

the weight limit.

sixth time in 63 fights, had a date
with a doctor tills morning. Dr. A.
Lastrettl, physician for the State
Athletic Commission, said Rocky
fractured a bone in his left hand.
rresumaoiy the mishap oc
curred in the second round when
Bobo caught one of Rooky's swings
on his elbow. The break was never
evident to the crowd because
Rocky kept throwing leather
whether he landed or not.
Highlights of the fight were
packed in the llth and 12th rounds.
As they came out for the llth
Rocky let fly with a right and be
fore anyone realized It, the startled
champion was sitting on the seat
of his pants. Rocky tripped over
Olson's leg and his glove touched
the canvas, but he was up im
mediately. Bobo scumbled as quickly as
ne couia to nis feet, which required
a three-count, and proceeded to
give Rocky all he could handle for
the rest of the round.
Bobo claimed later that their
feet got tangled up and he was
caught and'hlt off balance. '
In the 12th Bobo applied ft
Crusher. A long overhand right
found Rocky's jaw and sent liim .
crashing to the canvas.
The game Rocky needed and.
tcok a nine-count, and to his credit,
fought out the round like a wound
ed tiger. But his hopes faded from
that point on.

matic. Referee Ray Flores called
